Can't recall experiencing anything even remotely close to this. I mean, I can be VERY in my head, but it's never quiet enough for me to feel disconnected I think.

I also have a dissociative disorder tho, so my dissociation is a little more severe than some.

I knew I could never be on the level of DID. Not the floating thing. Losing time maybe, but I just wanted to see if anyone said anything that I could say, "YES!" but not really. Except the car thing. I mean, I "zone out" standing on line sometimes. I know this because when I snap back it's usually because someone thinks I'm staring at them but if anyone says anything to me (that would usually be someone I know) I tell them I wasn't looking AT them, I was looking THROUGH them.
